23/10 Organic Modeling II – Dynmesh, Remesh

Dynamesh

DynaMesh is a great tool for free-form sculpting because it removes the need for concerns about a geometry’s topology. It’s possible to change the overall shape of any DynaMesh by using the brushes in Zbrush. I think it is very useful for me to create low and middle-resolution sculpts, for blocking or low-resolution models. It is also a great way for me to make the base mesh before adding more details to my models and progressing to high-resolution models.

Zremesher

I find the remesher tool in Zbrush really useful, it automatically produces topology for my dynamesh model. Also in the V3, the new algorithm can produce better results on the sculpts.


Reflection

Today we continue with Zbrush organic sculpting/modelling. I really enjoy sculpting because somehow I find it very therapeutic. I continue to work on my skull. I also try different brushes that is inbuilt within Zbrush. I also found out about stencils where you can sculpt details with texture alphas which is super cool.

Another cool feature about Zbrush would definitely be Dynamesh and Zremesher. Dynamesh quickly allows me to start sculpting from a sphere to a base mesh with low details in a short time. After having the proper proportions I can then increase the amount of polygons to sculpt in even more details. I am amazed by how much polygons Zbrush can handle and not crash. Previously sculpting in blender gives me quite bad experience as the software will crash after the geometry exceeds >1mil polys. Zbrush can handle a few mil polys easily.

Furthermore, ZRemesher is really a cool tool to quickly optimise the topology of my model, from a few million polygons to a few hundred thousand in just one click. The software dev behind this is really a genius.
